'Cluster' of cases of Legionnaires' disease confirmed in Surrey

New Hampshire health officials have ordered a Hampton beach hotel to take immediate steps to remove a potentially deadly bacteria from its water system. "The Health Department will evaluate the building's plumbing to look for evidence of Legionella bacteria in the building's water system", officials said.

No one answered the phone at the hotel Monday morning.

"Hot tubs are a known source for this bacteria because they contain warm water which allows the bacteria to grow and amplify because there are jets which can disperse the water and aerosolize it", said Chan.

"It's just a coincidence", said Leon, adding that New Hampshire sees an average of 30 to 35 cases of Legionnaires' disease annually. Legionella is commonly found in the environment, particularly in freshwater, groundwater, and soil.

At least a dozen people were sickened from the disease; one elderly person died.
